The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV experience puts drivers in the middle of every moment, with revolutionary on-road performance features enabled by next-gen EV power, head-turning looks and an unmistakable stance. GMC HUMMER EV’s unprecedented capabilities will blend with engaging technologies, creating a sense of intensity and drama for drivers and passengers. GMC HUMMER EV’s on-road performance matches its off-road chops. Three electric motors within the Ultium Drive system offer a GM-estimated best-in-class 1,000 horsepower and, when multiplied through the front and rear drive unit gear ratios, offer more than 11,500 lb-ft of torque (GM estimate) to the wheels, enabling unprecedented performance capability. The ultimate expression of that performance will be delivered in HUMMER EV’s own launch control mode, known as Watts to Freedom. This driver-selectable feature channels the propulsion system’s tremendous power into acceleration bursts – including GM-estimated 0-60 mph in approximately 3 seconds.
At a glance, there’s no mistaking this truck as anything but a GMC HUMMER EV. Its formidable styling cues, including wheels at the corners and a high stance, are rooted in a capability-first mantra, where off-road functionality such as approach and departure angles take precedence in the design. The design is infused with signature cues, from the low-turret upper, upright windshield and rugged execution. Its contemporary, muscular design also communicates a technological leap forward: The front and rear lights feature charge indication, and the front light signature serves as the face of the vehicle. The design further incorporates clever details such as the distinctive HUMMER EV “H” motif seen in several elements, including the headlamps, taillamps and wheels. Additionally, the industry-leading Infinity Roof is a signature element of the HUMMER EV’s expressive design, offering open-air driving via modular, transparent Sky Panels. Even the I-Bar mounting frame for the panels is removable, for a totally open experience above, while a power-drop rear window takes the open-air concept even further.
In-vehicle technology is a fundamental element of the GMC HUMMER EV’s immersive experience and will be responsible for everything from tracking range and locating charging stations, to monitoring vehicle performance on and off the road – and even ensuring the right soundtrack is playing on that Moab excursion. The cabin experience will be enhanced by advanced sound technologies, with HUMMER EV’s Bose Premium sound system with Centerpoint surround signal processing and 14 high-performance speakers to deliver a powerful and immersive listening experience. Beyond music reproduction, Electric Vehicle Sound Enhancement uses Bose Active Sound Management capabilities, combining sound enhancement with noise masking to optimize the vehicle’s cabin acoustic environment. It will all be accessible through two large displays: a 13.4-inch diagonal color touchscreen that’s part of the GMC infotainment system and a 12.3-inch diagonal color driver information center display. Powered by Epic’s Unreal Gaming Engine, HUMMER EV’s graphic HMI displays make features and selections easy to find and intuitive to navigate at a glance. The start-up animation, along with different screen colors and distinctive graphic displays for different drive modes enhance the interactivity of the technologies and apps.
The five-passenger HUMMER EV’s bold cabin design is geometric and textured. Its newly developed surface materials contribute to the premium look and feel commensurate with GMC’s high standards for craftsmanship and ruggedness. There’s no conventional carpet in the interior, either. A versatile and easy-to-clean vinyl floor, topped with rubber flooring made from recycled material, is functional and instilled with distinctive design elements. Rubber inserts for each passenger position are designed for easy removal and clean up after a day on the trail. HUMMER EV will offer a refined and rugged interior for owners who want something fresh and new, yet capable enough to get dirty and handle what you throw at it. Convenience is also built into the HUMMER EV’s interior, with handy storage solutions throughout, including a roomy two-tier front floor console – enabled by the flat floor of the EV architecture – along with multiple storage bins and a lockable glove box. And like the exterior, clever design cues abound inside the cabin, including a stylized “H” for the instrument panel’s central air vent and other details waiting to be discovered.
